Huddersfield firm leads way in semi-bespoke furniture design

HUDDERSFIELD-based fitted furniture manufacturers Daval has launched a new design technology that manufactures semi-bespoke furniture.

The family-run firm which is celebrating 30 years in business this month, has invested more than £1.5m and spent two years to be the first to bring the new manufacturing system to the industry.

The technology has been developed to allow customers more choice when it comes to fitted furniture as all of the customers requirements are treated individually allowing changes to shapes, sizes, angles and finishes.

The software specifies all the machines on the factory floor to process one order at a time, instead of producing different products in batches. This provides the customer with consistent and tailor-made furniture, matching their individual specification.

David Bodsworth, Daval’s chairman, said:

“Daval is proud of its British heritage and is committed to investing in technology to ensure that we stay at the forefront of manufacturing in this sector.

“We are delighted to be the first in the UK to bring this to our customers. Daval has led the market in terms of design, innovation, quality and customer satisfaction, and now our Option-I manufacturing process means that were pushing the boundaries in this area too.”
